series RPC
Three-conductor to five-conductor
For fixed power distribution networks for alternating current (50/60Hz), for single-phase systems (220/110V), three-phase systems (380/190V) and systems with voltages up to 1kV. For Direct Current, used in systems with voltages up to 1.5kV Use in closed environments with a high concentration of people (airports, hospitals, trains, cinemas, shopping centers, tunnels) and in control rooms with electronic equipment sensitive to the exposure of corrosive gases. Installed in conduits, trays, cable ladders, in direct open air or indoors, buried in a trench or in ducts.
